See the public IP address websites see for your connection, IPv4 or IPv6, and copy it
Asks our server which address it sees for your connection. Nothing you type is sent, and the address is not stored. Updated on 18 Oct 2026.Your public IP address is the 1 number every website sees when your device connects - an IPv4 address such as 203.0.113.7 or a longer IPv6 one. This page shows the address our server received, in large type with a Copy button, and whether it is IPv4 or IPv6.
Open the page: it asks our server which address it sees and shows it under The address websites see.
Read the badge above the address to see whether your connection used IPv4 or IPv6.
Press Copy IP address, or Copy with details to include the version and the country estimate.
After turning a VPN on or off, press Check again to see the address websites now get.
A browser cannot see its own public address: the device knows only its address on your home or office network, and the router or mobile network swaps that for a public one on the way out. So this page asks our own server, which reads the address the request came from and sends it straight back.
What you see is exactly what any website sees when you visit. It is shown in large type with a Copy button, labelled IPv4 or IPv6, with the country when our network provider, Cloudflare, supplies one. That country is Cloudflare's estimate from its own address records and can be wrong, especially on mobile data; the page does not try to name a city, because that needs a licensed location database.
A few things change the answer. On a VPN or a proxy, the page shows the VPN's or the proxy's address, not yours; that is the easiest way to confirm a VPN is working. On mobile data and on some broadband, carrier-grade NAT puts many customers behind one shared IPv4 address. When your network has both IPv4 and IPv6, the browser usually prefers IPv6, and the page shows whichever one this request used.
What happens to the address: the request reaches our server, which answers it and marks the answer so that no cache keeps it. The address is not written to a database. Our access log keeps only a daily hash of it, the same as for every request to the site, which cannot be turned back into the address after the day ends, and the limit of 30 checks a minute is counted by that hash too. Cloudflare, which carries all traffic to this site, handles the request on the way, as it does for every page.
Links under the result lead to our reverse DNS and ASN lookup pages, which tell you the host name and the network operator behind an address.
Your public IP address is the one shown at the top of this page, read by our server from your request. Every website you visit sees the same number. Your device also has a private address on your home network, such as 192.168.1.5, which websites never see directly.
No database keeps it. Our server reads the address from the request, sends it back, and marks the reply so no cache stores it. The access log records only a daily hash of each address, which cannot be reversed after the day ends. The address is not shared with anyone.
A VPN sends your traffic through its own server, so websites, including this one, see the VPN server's address instead of yours. Seeing the VPN's address here confirms the tunnel is working for web traffic. Run the WebRTC leak test too, because WebRTC can bypass the tunnel.
Many networks now give each connection both. IPv4 addresses are scarce, so they are often shared through NAT, while IPv6 gives each device its own. Browsers prefer IPv6 when both work, so this page usually shows the IPv6 one on such networks and the IPv4 one otherwise.
No. Only a country is shown, and only when Cloudflare supplies one from its own address records. City-level location needs a licensed geolocation database and is often wrong anyway, especially on mobile data, where one address can cover a whole region. Nothing more is looked up.
Each connection has its own public address. A phone on mobile data uses the mobile operator's address, often shared by many customers through carrier-grade NAT, while a laptop on Wi-Fi uses your broadband address. Two devices on the same Wi-Fi usually share one public IPv4 address.
